personal26-09-1999Haircut and Shopping. Did
loads of shopping at Parkson Grand after I had my haircut. They were having
their grand sales, so I bought myself two pairs of black shoes, some socks and
trousers. Must do some more in the next few days...

friends24-09-1999Saw "The Haunting". Went
out with Cat Lady, Han Solo, Jar Jar Binks, and Malar for dinner at the new
Italian restaurant in Bangsar called "Dolce Vita Trattoria", which I
rate just ok. Having stuffed ourselves with pasta and pizza, Han and Malar
called it a day, while the rest of the Wackos trottered off to KLCC to watch the
suspenseful horror movie at midnight.

work24-09-19991st
day at Uniten.I arrived early on my first day
at Uniten, and met up with my new boss,
Tn. Hj. Rahim Bardan, who took me around the campus. Met up with the Rector, Dr.
Tajul Arus and Deputy Rector, Tn. Hj. Yaakob Sharif, and also quite a few
others. All welcomed me and were pleasantly surprised on my appointment. I've a
lot to catch up, and I think it's going to be quite interesting and challenging.

work21-09-1999Cigre99 CD finally arrives.Due
to the last minute bug-fixes, duplication of the CDs only commenced on Monday
(yesterday) so we are receiving the first batch this afternoon. On the opening
day yesterday, I presented a copy of the CD to YB Dato' Amar Leo Moggie, the
Minister of Energy, Communications and Multimedia, and demo'ed the application
to him and his entourage. They were pleased with it, and most people were also
happy with the product.

personal19-09-1999Cat Lady at Cat Show. DI
was getting hungry in the afternoon working on the Cigre project, so I decided
to have lunch at BSC. Guess wot? There was a cat show there and I bumped into
Cat Lady, who was with Simba and her nieces! There were loads of cats, furry
flat-faced ones, and Siamese ones, but practically all were having there
afternoon nap so they were oblivious of our calls. Silly cats...

work19-09-1999Final changes to Cigre99.I still had another 10% to finish off today, which
included testing, before passing the CD-R to the vendor for replication. Later
in the day, we had to set up the Infokiosk in the exhibition booth, and attend
the rehearsal at Sunway Lagoon Resort, where this symposium is to held. What a
weekend!

work18-09-1999More changes to Cigre99 CD.With the Cigre
Symposium around the corner (next Monday), our vendor discovered a bug in our
multimedia CD-ROM application, so I had to work overtime (and I mean
overtime...!) to rectify the sound problems experienced on older PCs when
viewing the video clips. This means a delay of the delivery to possibly next
Tuesday...

work17-09-1999I'm transferred to Uniten!A
shocking piece of news that I received two days ago from my boss, has been
confirmed when I received a letter signed by Tan Sri himself, stating that I'd
be transferred laterally to Uniten to
replace Ruslan Jamil's post! This came as a big surprise to all in ISD, and even
those in Uniten were not informed of this replacement and transfer. I'm to
report next Monday, so there goes my brekkie sessions at Rajoo's or nice tea
dashes at Boob's. Hope this turns out to be a blessing in disguise....

friends14-09-1999Saw "The 13th
Warrior". Azian, Anush and I went to OU to
get ourselves entertained with lots of battlings, blood and gore, in this
action-thriller that was similar to Braveheart. Brought them some popiah basah,
which when mixed with the chicken pie they had, turned out even more delicious.

work13-09-1999Tan Sri's prestn at Uniten.An unexpected presentation that Tan Sri was to give
this morning had me rushing to Uniten with Omar, missing my department meeting,
and returning to HQ only during lunchtime.

personal12-09-1999Lazy Sunday. Did
absolutely nothing today, except slept and lazed around in the house. Wanted to
go shopping, but blamed it on the hot weather for not adventuring outside. Did
my morning jog, though, and felt good after that.

friends05-09-1999Gold shopping. Cat
Lady wanted to buy a birthday gift for her niece, so invited Ju
to help choose the gold earrings. This is Ju's first visit to her apartment, and
we got to play briefly with Simba. Since I was the car driver in this deal, we
all went to OU to select the merchandise. I managed to cover half of OU and they
were still deciding on which earrings to buy...

work1-09-1999TNB celebrates 50th Anniversary.The surprise that Tan Sri mentioned to me during the
video shoot two days ago, was that Datuk Azhar Mansur, the Malay sailor that
made it round the world on his boat Jalur
Gemilang, would appear on stage.
